Will he never learn? eveilgrin:

And that reminds me. What’s that weirdo Dominic Cummings up to these days? And why has he got a porn actor name?

Actually, he and Trump are in the same shit which gives them common cause, but not a good look..

He'll get away with it as long as he had no contact with Epstein after his dark side was revealed.  Andrew's problem was he kept seeing him.

He's always been sus.  Very clever but less than the standards we might expect.  Been sacked twice for dodginess and that doesn't include his involvement in the Horizon fiasco.  But all that was known before he got this last posting at which he's apparently been very good.

Got to ask why was a known gay man frequenting Epstein's emporiums known for being stacked with willing young ladies (and allegedly hidden cameras too)

who's next?

Rachel from Accounts or Lammy from Affirmative Action.  Both are not fit for office.

My guess is Reeves first, probably not long after the November budget. Starmer won't boot Lammy this soon after appointing him.

Not a cabinet member but one of Starmer's senior advisors. Paul Ovenden has resigned over sexually explicit messages about Diane Abbot..  eeek:

No, I've managed to avoid it...  eeek:

I never thought I'd have to suffer 'explicit messages' and Diane Abbot' in the same sentence...  sick2:
